Mass Timber for a Mixed-Use Development
Sonrisa represents a benchmark for mass timber’s future multi-family residential applications in California. Sonrisa provides government-funded public housing in a five-story, mixed-use building. Sonrisa is the first project to break-ground under California Governor Newsom’s Executive Order for Affordable Housing Development.
Kalesnikoff provided the cross-laminated timber for Sonrisa, a ground-breaking development that will serve the community of Sacramento for years to come. The structural system is light wood framing paired with exposed cross-laminated timber elements. Sonrisa’s ground-floor will showcase retail/cafe space: two exposed CLT shear walls secured by custom connections will invite passersby in with the natural appeal of wood. Levels two through five will hold affordable housing units. The fifth floor features an outdoor community space with exposed glulam beams and columns, plus a landscaped terrace.
